Re: [Swftools-common] stop long sound

[Chris Pugh]

Because the sounds are triggered in your sprites, and are thus local
to your sprites, and not to the main movie?
As a result all you are doing is overlayering the same sounds on top
of one another, raher than actually stopping
them.

Try giving this a quick read..
